Hello all, this is my first time posting here (I first posted on the IRC but didn't get any response), so let me know if there's a different procedure for asking questions.
I'm interested in creating a Postgres extension that would enable developers to write triggers in (modern) C++. Does anyone know if there is already some sort of translation wrapper between the native Postgres C API's and C++? Or if there's already a project that allows for writing triggers in C++ with ease? I see that https://github.com/clkao/plv8js-clkao/blob/master/plv8_type.cc does implement an abstraction of sorts, but it's specific to v8 types and is not genericized as a way of interacting with Postgres C API's from C++ from *an*y C++ code. Can you imagine any potential technical challenges I may encounter (e.g. massaging postgres' custom allocator to work with C++'s new and delete operators, or unresolvable compiler incompatibilities)? Thanks for any input :-)
